Kevin Windham ripped the holeshot in the first moto of the day and led the first seven laps in style! He would end the day with an impressive 4th place overall finish. This was an amazing race for Kevin as he has not raced an outdoor race since 2007. He is stoked to be back racing and is looking for a podium finish soon! The upcoming race is at Washougal and Kevin is known for killing it there…

Yeow Benny B! Congrats on taking a 2nd place finish at the 6th Annual Sweetwater Pro Am Surf Contest in his hometown of Wrightsville Beach, NC! The inconsistent chest to shoulder high waves and steamy hot weather made for yet another successful event. Both sand and ocean was jam packed with sun soakers and surf enthusiasts throughout the entire event! Despite Spy’s Mike Losness not making it to the finals on Sunday afternoon, he was out and on the jet ski afterwards towing contestants for the Red Bull Tow At Challenge huckin some dudes at some high tide surf.
The SPY crew spent a few days in Wrightsville Beach out to support Sweetwater and the SPY team riders. Between our SPY bat signal, our snow cone giveaway in the 90+ degree weather, the human corndog contest, the human water weenie contest, a Friday night dance party with DJ Lord Walrus at Red Dogs followed by some impromptu midnight body surfing. You could say we managed to keep pretty busy!
In true SPY fashion it was time to puke and rally when a SPY Saturday night jam featuring Organix at Red Dogs came knocking…SPY made sure EVERYONE walked away with sore feet and sweaty armpits as once again the house was packed and the dance floor was jumping. We can’t wait to come back next year!!!

As everyone knows we are back on the Zumiez Couch Tour. We will be hitting all 12 stops giving free glasses away and have the best time of our lives to kick off summer. Here are some highlights from the 12th and final stop of this 12 stop tour in St. Paul with the Toy Machine team. We hung with amazing people, and saw great skating, and partied until the sun came up. Big shout out to Colin Provost for coming and chilling, and Leo and Johnny Layton destroying the street course and of course all the guys on Toy Machine. We would also like to thank Zumiez for getting us back on the tour! It was a great 2010 couch tour and we are looking forward to it next summer! See you back on the couch soon!
